Al Pacino wins as 'Glengarry Glen Ross' recoups

(AP) The Al Pacino-led revival of Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway has plenty to be happy about this Christmas.

Producers said Wednesday that the show, which marks the 30th anniversary of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the backbiting world of salesmen, has recouped its $3.3 million investment.

The cast also includes Bobby Cannavale, Jeremy Shamos, John C. McGinley, David Harbour and Richard Schiff. Reviews were mostly positive when the play opened Dec. 8, or at least were far better than a new Mamet play that closed quickly this fall, The Anarchist.

The success of Glengarry Glen Ross is a bright spot in an otherwise bleak season that has seen The Producers, ''The Anarchist, and Kathie Lee Gifford's Scandalous all open and close quickly.
